Description

Clyde Barrow Swatch of Pants. The 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde, starring Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, assured the ongoing historic fascination of Depression bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. The real-life couple weren't as glamorous, but they were at least as fascinating. This certificate - numbered 350/870 - contains a swatch of the woolen trousers worn by Clyde on May 23, 1934, the fateful day he (and Bonnie) died in a Gibsland, Louisiana ambush. Clyde's sister Marie Barrow signed the certificate, pesonally guaranteeing the trouser piece's authenticity. Also signed by Charles Heard, who arranged this unique tribute with Marie. A sure-as-shooting curio, certain to fascinate and cause discussion.
